7 Questions To Ask Before You Get Married
So much response from last night's show (if you missed it, listen to it in the archive/podcast/MP3 here on the site), that I am posting the 7 questions every couple should ask and discuss before getting married.

Do you like to save MONEY?

How much HOUSEWORK do you want to do?

Describe the kind of SEX life you hope for?

Who will be our FRIENDS and social network after we are married?

Tell me about your family and what kind of IN-LAWS you think they will be?

How many KIDS do you hope to have and how much time do you want to spend with them?

Share your FAITH with me

If not, keep looking.

Gravatar.com I just finished listening to the podcast. A lot of good comments from the listeners but I have to add one from personal experience:

Is there a history of mental illness in your family and are you crazy?

This is especially important for young couples because a lot of mental illnesses manifest in the 20s. You can have everything else going for you and going right but if your spouse literally looses touch with reality it will all fall apart.

The vow is for better or worse so a mental illness should not be a deal breaker. With proper treatment and medication most problems can be dealt with. However, if the person is not getting treatment then things can go bad really fast.

It’s also important to really pay attention to little signs and not dismiss them. Subtle signs that there is a problem will show up before the blaring neon light of a major incident. Pay special attention to unreasonable anxiety and fear in your spouse as a sign that there might be a deeper issue.

What's Allen Up To?

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-11 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!
